India keeper-batsman KL Rahul announced his return to form as he stamped his authority with a calculated hundred against England in the second ODI in Pune. KL Rahul’s fifth ODI hundred came after his recent brief struggles in the preceding T20 series as he registered three single-figures scores in four matches. The 28-year old stated that while it was good to be back on the runs, they emphasized a lot on building partnerships.
KL Rahul showed glimpses of returning to his best when he struck an unbeaten 62 in the first ODI. He hammered four fours and as many sixes, putting on an unbroken 112-run partnership with Krunal Pandya. On this occasion, the Karnataka-born cricketer translated his fifty to a blistering hundred as India posted another imposing total for England after being put to bat.
